Car-Free Urban Districts

[Anna Klein]

Welcome to the Car-Free Urban Districts Thread​

This thread is dedicated to the discussion of pedestrian-focused urban zones, car-free neighborhoods, and cities that prioritize sustainable mobility.

Feel free to post:

• Examples of successful car-free or car-lite districts (e.g. Vauban in Freiburg, Ghent city center, Oslo’s CBD)
• Project proposals and masterplans aiming to remove or reduce car access
• Visual updates: construction photos, renders, before/after comparisons
• Data, research, or policy news on walkability, traffic removal, or urban decarbonization
• Discussions on design principles: superblocks, shared streets, low-traffic neighborhoods

Let’s share ideas and examples that shape better, more livable cities around the world
